UPDATE ON SWAN SHOOTING
On 2/23 (story archived below), we had a report of hunters shooting a swan in the South Channel down by the 5100 block of Green Drive, in Canadian waters. Over the last few weeks we have made several attempts to contact Canadian Officals regarding the shooting and we finally received correspondence from Stan K.C. Chow, Inspector, Canadian Wildlife Enforcement Divison, who states that "There is no open season for hunting swans in Ontario. Thanks for letting us know about the situation, we will monitor the area more closely." He also has requested that he be contacted if anyone witnesses this type of activity in the future. I have listed Mr. Chow's contact information below, if you see anyone hunting swans please contact his office.
